## Courses

Here is a list of the currently available courses.

- [Course NANT 3423: Anthropology of Home](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013131): When we think of home, we typically envision spaces, sentiments, and relationships that are deeply personal, familiar, and familial. Yet these seemingly private spaces also are key sites through which we become national subjects and cultural citizens with specific gendered, classed, and culturally infused desires. How might we understand the relationship between domestic design, national anxieties, and intimate lives? This course provides students an introduction to the anthropology of home and explores sites that include living rooms in Hungary, dining rooms in Egypt, cramped quarters in Algeria, service entrances in Rio, and dens in New Jersey. Our readings examine topics that range from how kitchens and drawing rooms in Punjab have replaced national spaces of personal transformation to the ways that love and marriage in China have been recast amid the rise of homeownership. Final projects enable students to write about an aspect of home of their own choosing.
- [Course NARH 0102: Museum Studies: Introduction](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013147): This course offers a critical exploration of the history and role of museums and focuses attention on the different elements that shape museums.
- [Course NARH 3733: Contemporary Art: participation/action/change](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013199): Contemporary art assumes many forms but this class focuses on artists and artworks that embrace participation and action while seeking an end goal of positive change for the individual and society. Each class is devoted to the exploration of one artist or art collective allowing for an in-depth understanding of the subject. Artists include Joseph Beuys, Martha Rosler, Yoko Ono, Thomas Hirschhorn and Suzanne Lacy. Questions for consideration: How can art produce real change in the world? How do we judge the success and failure of social based projects? How is our relationship to art evolving as its definitions are changing? Student assignments include a research project that addresses the theme of community and a curatorial exercise that challenges the boundaries of the traditional art exhibition. This class is a seminar. Participation is required. New York’s thriving art scene and The New School’s Vera List Center for Art and Politics serve as resources for this class along with selected readings, videos and guest speakers. This course counts toward the Gender Studies minor
- [Course NARH 3874: Housing the Modern Dweller](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013207): For most avant-garde architects the private home is the main vehicle through which they find opportunity to test radical building innovations. Moreover, the pressing political and social justice issues of the modern era were often explored and debated through the “housing question.” This makes modern residential architecture a useful medium for understanding how architects tackle disciplinary responses to their architectural predecessors; the important yet often obscured role played by women as designers and clients; urban “renewal” and public housing; and changing ideas about “house” and “home.” This class reviews such topics through an investigation of the major contributions to residential design between 1880 and 1980. Topics discussed include the traditional canon, from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Arts and Crafts Prairie Houses to Robert Venturi’s “complex and contradictory” reinterpretation of modernism. We also consider, however, how Eurocentric modernism resonated across the globe, feminist rethinking of spatial organization, and how race and class-based discrimination shaped residential development. Course content is offered online through readings, discussions, films, podcasts, and guest speakers. Students are asked to complete at least one self-led exploration to a house or multifamily housing complex in their area. Group assignments and discussions help students become proficient in virtual modes of communication, such as Zoom, email, and the communication opportunities provided by Canvas.

- [Course NCOM 3000: Introduction to Media Studies](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013223): Students explore media history and the basic concepts employed in media analysis, spanning the history of technologies from the magic lantern to multimedia and stressing the relationship between media and their social, political, and economic contexts. Since media are at once technology, art, entertainment, and business enterprises, they need to be studied from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The readings for this course reflect this multifaceted approach and draw attention to the work of key thinkers and theorists in the field. Examples are drawn primarily from the visual media of commercial film, television, advertising, video, and the Internet, although alternative media practices are also noted. Students gain an understanding of how media texts are constructed, how they convey meaning, and how they shape one another in significant ways.

This auteur series seeks to investigate how the Melodrama – a film genre typically associated with Classic Hollywood – has historically and contemporarily been utilized to simultaneously reinforce and subvert hegemonic ideals in the filmic construction of identity, the individual and society. German filmmaker Douglas Sirk’s films reproduced the glossy façade of Mid-Century Americana while also investigating the cultural fractures and fault lines that lay just beneath the surface. As one of cinema’s most revisited auteurs, Sirk’s work deserves academic treatment, not only for its lovely cinematography and star-studded narratives, but also in order to better understand how race, class and gender were negotiated in Mid-Century America through the cinematic form of the Melodrama.

- [Course NHUM 0035: Introduction to Performance Studies](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013537): This course offers an overview of the interdisciplinary field of performance studies as it has developed from the 1960s to the present, paying close attention to gender, sexuality, the construction of racial identity, and the politics of taste. A field of study that is often inspired by the performing arts, performance studies emphasizes critical approaches to the study of individuals as actors in society. It provides a valuable set of questions for thinking about everyday life, language, and culture as performance practice. Questions that we bring to our work include: How do we perform our identities? How do different performances illuminate how the world functions? How do the continually shifting scripts that guide our behavior give us insight into the nature of power and the way it plays out in public? This course emphasizes critical approaches rather than the practical study of traditional drama and theater. Given the various types of media we examine--including film, visual art, and music--the course is useful to students wishing to employ a performance studies approach in the social sciences, to artists, and to those who wish to consider the social and political effects of art and media.

How has literature engaged with social and political power? What is the political potential of literary texts? What are their limits? In other words, how might literature generate, continue, and critique power and privilege? This course examines the complicated relationship between racial, ethnic and national identities. We look at how literature engages with, re-writes, and reflects history. Over the course of the semester we will investigate not only bias and stereotypes but also the strategies of resistance to these dominant views as expressed in the following literary works: Electric Arches by Eve Ewing (USA) Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth by Warsan Shire (UK) So Long a Letter by Mariama Ba (Senegal) Always Rebellious by Georgina Herrera (Cuba) Segu by Maryse Condé (Guadeloupe)

- [Course NPHI 3288: Human Rights](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013609): Is there such a thing as an objective or universal point of view? On one hand, the history of Western philosophy can be viewed as a continuous search for a fixed point of view, for a perspective that reveals how things "really are." On the other hand, many serious thinkers have attempted to relativize any postulation of an absolute perspective. This age-old debate is reflected in modern debates, such as the conflict between the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, promulgated by the United Nations in 1948, and objections to the imposition of a particular value system on a pluralistic world. This course explores arguments raised by ethical relativists throughout the history of philosophy, from Sextus Empiricus to Nietzsche to Richard Rorty, in order to arrive at the contemporary debate about human rights. Students analyze the strengths and weaknesses of universalist and relativist perspectives in attempting to answer the question: How can a coherent system of human rights be established in a world of diverse and sometimes contradictory social values?
- [Course NPOL 3281: International Criminal Law](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1013621): From the Nazi concentration camps to the killing fields of Pol Pot’s Cambodia to the deserts of Darfur, human beings have displayed a seemingly unlimited capacity for cruelty. International legal prohibitions on war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide are designed to deter and punish such crimes. Although treaties regulating the wartime conduct of soldiers and states predated the formation of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, the tribunal was the first international body ever established to try state leaders, not only for wartime conduct but also for their domestic policies. We examine the complex legal issues associated with the prosecution of these crimes by tracking the development of international institutions from Nuremberg to the International Criminal Court.

Examined more closely, they are complex and not easily explained. Cognitive psychology is the empirical study of longstanding questions about what we know, how we know it, and how our knowledge is structured, accessed, and used. We start with the psychology of William James, which examines how we experience thought and feeling.

Feminist psychology has both informed, and been transformed by, movements in Queer Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Disability Studies. These frameworks are integrated throughout the course. After interrogating the gender binary, we examine the gender stereotypes that support this binary, and the consequences of these stereotypes for cognition, behavior, and affect. Key topics include: gender in developmental psychology, sex and sexualities; objectification theory; medicalization; mental health; gender in the workplace, and gender-based violence.

From the poetic reveries of James Schuyler and Frank O’Hara, to the meditations on exile of Walter Benjamin and Paul Celan, walking becomes a creative act. In this course, students plan and document a series of walks, creating their own literary and autobiographical map of New York—a personal poetics of space. We create a poetics of walking, of ethnography, and of autobiography, mapping discoveries of self and others through writing. These voyages and readings provide the occasion to write a series of texts, documenting our walks through New York and our responses to the literature of flanerie. Students are also encouraged to explore the intersections between writing and other media/art forms, such as performance, digital media, visual art, film and sound as we document the unfolding and creation of our own New York landscapes.

- [Course PCFD 0601: New Roles for Fashion Designers](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1029018): Over the past 20 years, the fashion industry has been refashioned and sped up so dramatically that it has become unhinged, disconnected from its people, and its negative impacts on our place - our planet. The fashion system churns through natural resources to make more than 100 billion garments a year that are thrown out in rapid succession. Much change is needed across the entire value chain, but for the most part, the role of the fashion designer has not fully evolved to respond to this urgent crisis. It has remained focussed on a limited part of the value chain, propping up the linear, take make and waste model. There is huge untapped potential to redefine the role and remit of the fashion designer for the 21st century, so that it can abandon damaging outmoded thinking, to embrace new models of value creation to enhance engagement with our clothing. History tells us that crises lead to innovation and opportunity – the time is ripe for fashion designers to learn how to overcome these crises and challenges. This course allows people to stray outside the designated lines of operation for ‘fashion designers’, to forge your own path, connecting the whole system. To explore the full context of a whole systems approach to fashion, which is both mindful and conscious of our planet, its boundaries, and all life forms that exist on it.

The outcome from the course can take several options including as a form of a strategic positioning dossier/‘business model’ or case study to implement, to go towards an accelerator program, or it can remain as a speculative portfolio piece. We encourage you to go beyond the point of purchase, everything is up for reimagining. Course Length - Online 9 weeks
- [Course PCFD 0602: Slow and Regenerative Fashion](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1029045): The current industrialised fashion industry is patently disconnected from feeling a sense of its place within the boundaries and ecosystem of the natural world.

Enhancing ecosystems to boost biodiversity, build soil, support communities, and clean up existing pollution. Course Length - Online 9 weeks
- [Course PCFD 0603: Sustainable Wardrobe Practices](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1029058): One of the biggest challenges for addressing the unsustainability of the clothing industry hinges on consumers' perception of fashion. Garments are viewed in a linear manner, as something we create, use, and waste. The high turnover of clothing in our society indicates that many people are not satisfied with their fashion experience, and do not have a positive and empowering relationship with their clothing. It is clear that we need to learn to value clothing and activate conscious consumption. This course seeks to enrich fashion users’ /wearers' relationship with their clothes. Its aim is to create a fashion system that has real plurality, heterogeneity and that encourages user autonomy. Informed by knowledge both inside and outside of design, such as social science, and the humanities, everyday life discourse, and indigenous knowledge in order to gain a deeper understanding of how to design for change in complex systems. This course aims to foster the potential use of fashion in our everyday lives. It asks can fashion designers formalize and scale systems and services to improve the human-product relationship and ensure on-going satisfaction, enjoyment, and wellbeing for the user?

- [Course NINT 6006: IFP Ethiopia: Monitoring & Evaluation Remote Studio I](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=2563170): The best means of understanding a project or program’s success is through Monitoring and Evaluation, a methodology to collect and analyze data on impact and effectiveness. The M&E I Studio section will focus on setting up M&E structures prior to project implementation. We will first define project success, usually represented through objectives or outcomes, and then establish logical framework impact, outcome and output statements, and attach measurable indicators - the foundation of monitoring and evaluation. If one can properly set up a project with a solid logical framework and measurable indicators, the remaining M&E tasks are relatively straightforward. This Remote Studio will also work and interact synchronously with Addis Abeba University students in this online course, which will involve both lectures and activities. Though online, learning will be experiential in the sense that all work will be done around a project with women’s microenterprise groups in Ethiopia. Our client is the Consortium of Self-help Approach Promoters (CoSAP), a national coalition of approximately 13,000 women’s microenterprise groups. The groups have demonstrated significant success in raising women and their families out of poverty, and our Studio will work on continuing collection of microenterprise results, but will also delve deeper into the groups’ psychosocial benefits to members. The “Self-Help Groups” are ostensibly formed around small business development and income generation, but as many as half or more of the women do not participate in those endeavors yet seem to also reap benefits from group participation. Application and admission into the M&E Remote Studio is required to take this course. For more information, send an email to ifp@newschool.edu. Please visit our website: International Field Program .

- [Course NLIT 0542: Andersen, Carroll, Wilde, and Rossetti](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=2581737): This course examines the work of three extraordinary and original authors whose enchanting stories teach people of all ages much about life, the imagination, and the mysteries of the human heart. Employing a double articulation that reaches both child and adult, these authors wrote fantasies that, like dreams, take us beyond the conventional idiom of ordinary reality into worlds of wonder and that allow us to explore deep-rooted wishes, needs, and fears. We examine how each of these highly sensitive authors confounded the categories that license sexual normality, valued the eccentric and the singular over the conventional and the standardized, and promoted the development of social consciousness through either satire or social criticism. Each author employed fantasy in a revolutionary way, as a means of countering an overly puritanical, utilitarian mentality that tended to be deeply suspicious of the imagination; and, because all wonder tales depend on the experience of the miraculous, their stories are a vehicle for spiritual exploration as well. We read a selection of innovative tales by Hans Christian Andersen, Lewis Carroll’s brilliant Alice in Wonderland, and Oscar Wilde’s strange and beautiful fairy tales as well as his ambiguous morality tale The Picture of Dorian Gray.
- [Course NLIT 0834: Mystery Masterworks](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=2581772): A fusion of gothic fiction and the detective story, the American "noir" novel is both a distinctive contribution to the mystery novel and an impressive genre in its own right. Simultaneously dreamlike and realistic, the Noir Novel’s mean streets and nightmare alleys, along with their world-weary heroes and femme fatales have evolved into literary and cultural symbols with archetypal resonance. We will explore these novels as expressions of social and political protest and commentary, but also as aesthetically satisfying depictions of an entire psychology, or even as a manifestation of a singular type of existential philosophy. Readings include major American precursors of noir as well as modern noir classics: Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep; Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key; James M. Cain, The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity; Dorothy B. Hughes, The Expendable Man; William Lindsay Gresham, Nightmare Alley; Patricia Highsmith, Deep Water; Kenneth Fearing, The Big Clock.
- [Course NWRW 0545: Personal Essay and Memoir](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=2581807): "Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't," wrote Mark Twain. His words have even more resonance today, when so many actual events are harder to believe than the inventions of a novelist. Nonfiction offers limitless creative possibilities for contemporary writers willing to observe our complex world and translate their observations and experiences into dynamic prose full of insight and provocative ideas. This workshop is for serious beginners and experienced writers of essays and memoirs. Writing discipline is emphasized, and students receive writing prompts and assignments as well as working on their own projects. In workshop, they receive supportive critiques from their peers. Exercises and critiques are designed to help the writer develop a unique voice and style. The instructor offers guidance in using examples and anecdotes and incorporating dialogue and other techniques more common in fiction writing. For inspiration, we read and discuss exemplary work by Joan Didion, David Sedaris, Maureen Dowd, and E.B. White. Finally, print and online publishing markets are analyzed, with tips about submission strategies and marketing suggestions for publishable work.

Truth isn't," wrote Mark Twain. His words have even more resonance today, when so many actual events are harder to believe than the inventions of a novelist. Nonfiction offers limitless creative possibilities for contemporary writers willing to observe our complex world and translate their observations and experiences into dynamic prose full of insight and provocative ideas. This workshop is for serious beginners and experienced writers of essays and memoirs. Writing discipline is emphasized, and students receive writing prompts and assignments as well as working on their own projects. In workshop, they receive supportive critiques from their peers. Exercises and critiques are designed to help the writer develop a unique voice and style. The instructor offers guidance in using examples and anecdotes and incorporating dialogue and other techniques more common in fiction writing. For inspiration, we read and discuss exemplary work by Joan Didion, David Sedaris, Maureen Dowd, and E.B. White. Finally, print and online publishing markets are analyzed, with tips about submission strategies and marketing suggestions for publishable work.

- [Course NLIT 0300: Middlemarch for the 21st Century](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=2949977): Having passed the test of time, Middlemarch has become not simply a 19th century novel, but a novel for the ages. A masterpiece that has been described as a treasure house of detail, one of the few English novels written for grown-up people, and the greatest novel in the English language, Middlemarch is also a novel that both fulfills the promise of 19th century realism and anticipates the psychological innerness associated with modernist fiction. This course will be devoted to an examination of Eliot's in-depth depiction of a midlands town called Middlemarch in the midst of social, political, religious and economic transformations. We will explore the variety of plots and a diverse ensemble cast in a novel that ranges from comedy to tragedy to romance to political and social commentary, with special emphasis on its two great souls, an idealistic medical man and an exceptional young woman of mind. We will also examine the powerful voice of George Eliot herself as it emerges in the narrative and engages the mission of modernity: that even if there will be losses as well as gains, it is possible to move forward to a better world. Reading: George Eliot, Middlemarch, Norton Critical Edition. Students should read Middlemarch’s first page-long chapter, Prelude, for the first class.

Human beings do not develop and function in a cultural vacuum. We must understand ourselves and our positionality in the world by understanding this world as a cultural world, in fact, as existing of multiple cultural worlds simultaneously. Cultural psychology is the field of study that focuses on the cultural constitution of psychological phenomena. This course will explore why the cultural dimension is crucial for human psychology. To this purpose, we will explore current theories and research on culture, race, and ethnicity and will examine evidence suggesting psychological processes are culture- and context-dependent. Students will better understand how sociocultural contexts influence psychological processes, such as self, agency, motivation, emotion, cognition, and relationships, learn about empirical methods in cultural psychology and achieve a better appreciation and belongingness of people within and outside of the United States. This course will continue building skills of empathy, respect, and open-mindedness of cultural backgrounds. The class will comprise lectures, discussions, and experiential activities.

In practice, however, states frequently ignore international legal requirements when the laws impede the pursuit of their own national interests. Since the catastrophic attacks on September 11, 2001, the United States has responded to security threats with policies and practices in its declared Global War on Terrorism that have challenged fundamental legal understandings. These policies have not so much disregarded international law as redefined it. This course focuses on the complex legal and domestic constitutional issues posed by the U.S. governments words and actions. Topics range from domestic issues, such as the USA Patriot Act, warrantless wiretapping, and indefinite detention, to international legal issues, such as the doctrine of preemption, the practice of "extraordinary rendition," and the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody and control.

- [Course GMIG 0102: Global Mobility](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3319802): With over 281 million international migrants, human mobility has increasingly become a top priority on local, national and international agendas. Community organizations, international institutions, NGOs and governments around the world are responding in different ways to the realities of migration, from its root causes, the challenges faced during transit, to access to rights in the country of destination, the organization and mobilization of diasporas, or return to the country of origin. At the same time, migrants resist existing boundaries, offer alternative responses, organize and express transborder identities that challenge traditional definitions of citizenship and constructions of national belonging. This course will offer students the opportunity to understand and analyze contemporary global migration flows, their causes and effects, the various ways in which migrants experience these processes, and the policies, institutions and grassroots organizations that respond to these flows across countries and regions. Our discussions will be informed by interdisciplinary academic sources, documentaries, films, literature and news media. This course is required for the Certificate in Migration Studies.

We will read and interpret together Homer, Ovid, Marina Tsvetaeva, Paul Celan, Hannah Arendt, Marlene Dietrich, Czeslaw Milosz, Edward Said, and Wole Soyinka, amongst others.
- [Course GMIG 0109: Cities and Migration](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3365763): More than ever, cities represent the locus of human mobility. The majority of the world’s migrants and forcibly displaced live in urban areas. Migration continues to be a fundamental process to the development and growth of cities. The role of cities in shaping mobility and that of migrants in shaping cities has been increasingly recognized in policy, academic, and media circles. However, understanding this dialectic relationship requires us to look beyond disciplinary silos, challenge past assumptions, revisit theoretical concepts, and provide new evidence from cities the world over. The purpose of the course is to offer an interdisciplinary lens on the topic of cities, migration, and mobility. By closely examining city and migrant experiences across the world, students will focus on different aspects of migration, urban governance, contentious politics, and migrant city-making. Throughout the course, students will gain theoretical insights, and analytical skills to be applied in different urban and mobility contexts. The course will bring together scholars, practitioners, and activists from across disciplines to share insights, advance conceptual and empirical findings, and discuss actions that can provide a more holistic view of human mobility in cities today.
- [Course PCSP 0870: Equity in Design Process and Systems](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3465356): In this course, students explore how design industries encounter and address enduring challenges of inequality and other forms of oppression in the United States and throughout the world. The course considers the role of equity and social justice as it relates to design, beginning with two premises: 1) design plays a vital role in shaping both equitable and unequal outcomes in society, and 2) multiple causes shape the impact of design strategies, including systems, processes, and cultures, all of which can be actively or passively implicated in advancing or restricting equity and justice.   Course Length - Online 5 weeks
- [Course PCSP 0871: Building Inclusive Design Cultures](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3465391): This course explores how design businesses and other professional design environments can foster more inclusive practices. In the past decade, organizational cultures have become highly visible for the inequities they have fostered in their structures and practices. The #metoo movement gave voice and needed visibility to historical patterns of sexual oppression and exploitation in workplaces and across greater society. #Oscarssowhite demonstrated the problem of race-based casting and institutional biases towards white (and often male) actors, directors and industry professionals, while the Black Lives Matter movement and thousands of camera phones have exposed the exclusive and oppressive cultures that permeate the legal justice system. By learning from the past and looking forward, the course give students practical tools to respond to anti-inclusive systems and practices and collaborate with others to shift cultures towards enhanced inclusion. Course Length - Online 5 weeks
- [Course PCSP 0872: Dimensions of Social Justice in Design Industries](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3465441): Using the umbrella concept of ‘social justice,’ this course focuses on the many dimensions of justice that surface in the design industries and in other professional contexts. These include racial, gender, economic, environmental justice, to name a few, and highlight the intersecting layers of both power and oppression that different members of professional design communities experience, often based on either privileged or minoritized characteristics. In the course, students will explore questions such as, “who is doing the design and where is privilege operating?” Students will learn about the growing fields of ‘design for social impact’ and ‘design justice,’ which offer tools and critical frameworks for assessing how power privileges some and disenfranchises others, and show how design strategies can be improved to give voice to the most marginalized. Course Length - Online 5 weeks
- [Course NLIT 0807: The Literature of Forgiveness](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3482900): Since the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in 1996, the question of forgiveness has become central to human rights discourse. In this course, we consider global political catastrophes and their consequences through a study of 20th-century novels and memoirs. We examine the Holocaust, South African apartheid, the Chilean military junta of General Pinochet, and the Rwanda genocide. We study not only forgiveness, but related notions such as retributive and restorative justice, individual and collective responsibility, the virtues of vengeance, healing, memory, grief, compassion, shame, and silence. This course includes African, European, and American literature: Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace, Philip Gourevitch's We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families, Simon Wiesenthal's The Sunflower, and Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden.

- [Course NPSY 0444: Psychology of Dreams](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3482937): Dreams are our subconscious attempt to reconcile our inner and outer worlds. Dreams are triggered by many needs--to resolve a problem, to gratify a wish, to relive an event, to give expression to suppressed emotions. What all dreams have in common is the depth of their message, for dreams come from the most profound part of the self. In dreaming, we explore that mysterious place; we evolve and become. The class studies the history of dream theory, with a focus on psychoanalytic theories of dream formation and analysis (Freud, Jung, Erikson, Kohut, etc.). We also explore the creative expression of the self through dream interpretation and work together on understanding ourselves and growing through our dreams.
- [Course NMGT 0423: Leadership in Context](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3483116): This course explores the purpose and experience of leadership at the individual, team, and organizational levels and demystifies it. It introduces the concept, practice, and measurement of emotional intelligence, and helps students develop the self-awareness and resilience needed to contribute and succeed in a rapidly changing society. We will consider leaders' roles in shaping organizational culture, power, and strategy to navigate complex realities and promote improvement and justice in your spheres of influence. Teaching methods are based in experience, including self-assessment, reflection, and simulations, with opportunities for immediate application.

- [Course NHIS 4364: History, Biography, Fiction](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553154): This course examines the complex interaction between the claims of History and Biography to be objective and the individual perspectives that are written into every narrative of the past. We focus on those figures from the fifteenth to the turn into the seventeenth century whom we believe we know most about: queens, kings, counselors, intellectuals, artists, rebels, and controversial candidates to posterity, to investigate these questions. To evaluate the validity of historical representations of particular women and men we consult contemporaneous official chronicles, primary documents -- letters, diaries, autobiographies, spies’ reports, as well as imaginative accounts from earlier times and our own. We compare later historiographies and historical fictions by Hilary Mantel and others with the most recent scholarly evidence and speculative accounts. We consider the cinematic history and biography of particular figures. Taking Plutarch’s approach in Parallel Lives, we study several “parallel” figures, identifying their individual “history” and “biography,” as well as their documented contact. We examine the ways each individual shapes an existence according to personal character, public goals, and the interplay of events, and the way historians, biographers, novelists, and dramatists construct lives for their own interests. Students will have the opportunity to create the biography of any historical actor of their choice.
- [Course NLIT 3006: Literature IS Translation](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553166): This will consider not just the place of translation in literature but the idea that all literature is translation. Octavio Paz once claimed that “Baudelaire said poetry is essentially analogy... Between the language of the universe and the universe of language, there is a bridge, a link: poetry. The poet, says Baudelaire, is the translator.” And the philosopher and translator Franz Rosenzweig declared: “The true goal of the mind is translating: only when a thing has been translated does it become truly vocal.… The same holds true for translating person to person.” We will consider translation as a mode of 1) reading and interpretation; 2) constrained writing; 3) cultural contextualization and cross-pollination; and 4) pressing against the tension between linguistic idiom and literary idiosyncrasy. Throughout, we will ask the difficult question, posed by the Formalists, of what makes a text literary, and then we will think as a group about how this literariness can be represented beyond a text's original language. In addition to completing and discussing the readings—which may include works by Kafka, John Keene, Zora Neale Hurston, Isaac Babel, Borges, Clare Cavanagh, and others—students will contribute to the course by choosing one or more of the following kinds of assignments connected to the course topics: 1) an analytical, critical response; 2) a creative response, along with a critical reflection; and/or 3) a literary translation into English from a non-English language in which you are proficient, along with a brief introduction. We will spend part of our time workshopping these exercises (to be shared before class on the canvas discussion board), and the last several weeks of the semester presenting one of these options as an extended final project.
- [Course NLIT 3505: Latinx Lit: Speculative Fictio](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553187): With the recent increase of writers of color who engage in speculative fiction (including genres such as horror, fantasy, and sci-fi), literary scholar Ramón Saldívar argues that speculative literature can function “as a basis for recognizing and understanding the construction of the new political destinies we may witness taking shape among diasporic groups in the US today.” This course will examine how Latino/a/x writers contribute to speculative fictions in response to a political era dominated by xenophobia and racism. To do so, we will ask questions such as: What are the symbolic affordances of speculative fictions and their genre conventions? How do Latino/a/x writers adhere to, or subvert, these genre conventions? What opportunities (or limitations) do speculative fictions present towards constructing a more inclusive vision of “latinidad”? How do speculative fictions allow us to imagine a potential utopian future? We will ask these questions as we consider texts like Carmen Maria Machado's genre-bending work or even HBO's horror-themed comedy series, Los Espookys.
- [Course NLIT 3807: The Literature of Forgiveness](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553200): Since the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in 1996, the question of forgiveness has become central to human rights discourse. In this course, we consider global political catastrophes and their consequences through a study of 20th-century novels and memoirs. We examine the Holocaust, South African apartheid, the Chilean military junta of General Pinochet, and the Rwanda genocide.

- [Course UURB 2005: Cities of the Global South](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553254): The fastest growing city in the world today is in Nigeria. The city that added the largest number of people over the last year is in India. Cities in the global south are rising, forming, and reshaping rapidly, but until recently they were the subject of much misunderstanding. The problem is not that powerful Northern actors ignored cities of the global south; rather, it is that the entire framework for their study emerged from models based on European and U.S. cities. Because of this, global north scholars, planners, architects, policy makers, economists, and development experts have systematically "misread" cities around the world. This course explores urbanization and city life in three world regions: Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. We consider the political and economic contexts of rapid urban growth, the role of infrastructure and transportation, the cultures of rural-to-urban migration, as well as the modes of life that take hold in global south cities.

Students will develop a conceptual “toolkit” for how to understand contemporary urban resistance projects (housing and environment) led by local grassroots activists grappling with ongoing histories of displacement, erasure and marginalization. Learning from local projects which intervene in capitalist space-making, students will spend time exploring different sites of connection and cooperation (via local and archival fieldwork), coming away with clear working theories about how New Yorkers continue to create urban revolution.
- [Course UURB 3274: Urban Food Systems](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553280): This course examines sustainability and urban food systems from farm to fork. We explore the social, political, economic, and environmental dimensions of food production, distribution, marketing, consumption, and wastes. Throughout the semester, we develop an understanding of historical and contemporary relationships between agriculture and cities, and we critically assess current alternative food concepts such as local food and regional food system sustainability; urban agriculture; food justice, and food policy in cities. Considering phenomena including climate change, rising inequality, racial inequity, gentrification, and regional farmland loss, we explore the roles that urban consumers, activists, food workers, policymakers, scholars, and students may play in transforming food systems in and around cities so they are more environmentally sustainable and socially just. At the end of the course, students will have a deeper understanding of the complexities of urban food systems, the politics of food in urban settings, and the role of cities in advancing food system sustainability.

This core course introduces students to key global areas where economic dynamics intersects with politics, society, and culture. It explores essential and contested concepts such as value, money, labor, trade, and debt, “licit” and “illicit” economies, and moral economy. We will examine changing trends in the global political economy as well as emerging areas such as the sharing economy (e.g. AirBnB) or technologies such as automated trading. Readings will be drawn from classic texts, contemporary commentary, and case studies from a variety of disciplines that seek to understand the “economic” and relate its logics and workings to our contemporary realities of unparalleled inequality, interconnectivity, and interdependence. *A Global Studies Core Course.* Please contact the GLUE Advisor should you need additional information or have registration difficulties.
- [Course UGLB 3515: Politics of Violence](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553317): This interdisciplinary course critically examines the politics of violence as it relates to Indigenous lands and bodies. Students work to develop an understanding of the range, scope, and tactics of colonial violence/power, both past and present, and systematically explore how Indigenous lands and bodies have been recast as terra nullius, as disposable wastelands, and as criminal through the production and expansion of settler laws and social policies. The course will also examine Indigenous relationships to their territories, settler colonialism and its enduring impacts for everyday resurgence, gender violence and murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls, extractive industries that seek to remove “resources” from the land and children from their families and communities, and the ongoing criminalization of Indigenous assertions of sovereignty and resistance to the state. The syllabus prioritizes critical engagement with the work of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars theorizing settler colonialism, Indigenous lived experience, and resistance to state violence.
- [Course UGLB 3540: Prisons & Punishment](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553332): The United States is living through an era of mass incarceration, with nearly 7 million people, mostly poor persons of color, in prisons, jails, or under some form of carceral surveillance. Is the US out of step with the rest of the world or is this part of a global trend? How did the US end up being one of the world’s largest jailor of people in the “land of the free”, with over 2 million locked inside walls and cages? This course examines how this situation came to be, what it is, and the effects it has on various levels of society. It asks whether the role of the prison as the primary mechanism of punishment is still a valid form of justice, in the United States and as a global phenomenon. Students will become familiar with the “through lines” that intersect in the modern prison—race, class, policy—as well as the various philosophical concepts that surround the issue—justice, harm, crime, revenge, and forgiveness. We look transnationally to understand “the prison” as a global phenomenon: how does deportation and detention of migrants, or camps for refugees, fit into the age of mass incarceration? How are carceral practices influenced by the Geneva Conventions or exceptional spaces such as GITMO? Students will consider alternatives to the prison as punishment, from reform and rehabilitation to abolition altogether. The course will consider the work of Angela Davis, Michelle Alexander, Loïc Wacquant, Marie Gottschalk, George Jackson, Michel Foucault, and Lisa Guenther, amongst others. *A Rights, Justice & Governance (RJG) Cluster course.* This course counts toward the Ethnicities and Race minor.
- [Course UGLB 3615: Infrastructure, Power & Protest](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=3553346): From railroads to communication networks, water pipes and electricity wires, and technologies of security and extraction, everyday physical infrastructures and technologies are central to how we function, but easy to ignore. Yet these systems are not neutral, but deeply political. This course explores how power and privilege operate through infrastructure and technology, and how these are essential to the constitution of new political terrains , with an emphasis on cases from Africa and South Asia. We will begin by approaching infrastructures as networked systems that both shape and are shaped by social life, global economic and political shifts, and the legacies of colonialism, Cold War politics, and early 20th century projects of development and modernization especially in global south countries. We will then explore contemporary sites of struggles in relation to infrastructures, such as the technopolitics of oil, technologies of piracy, and infrastructures of security and “preparedness”. Finally, the course will examine infrastructure failure, including both the “ordinary breakdowns” of infrastructure in cities of the global south and often dramatic infrastructure failures in the aftermath of disasters or war. Readings will be interdisciplinary, drawing primarily on science and technology studies, anthropology, political theory and geography.

It continues in the subjugation, through that matrix of colonial power, of millions of inhabitants of the hemisphere. Decolonial thought attempts to uncover these different legacies of subjection and oppression still ocurring in the present. In this sense, it aims to counters the main Eurocentric narrative determining the course of the world, creating spaces of contestation and undoing some of the constructs that support the idea of one global history inexhorably advancing towards a better more prosperous and free future.

In this course we first look at the historical emergence of various technologies that have irrevocably changed our world, followed by a robust survey of new and emerging technologies that are currently making their mark (e.g., AI/automation) and reshaping norms (e.g., digital therapy, online sex work, the “artificial womb”). With a focus on education, entertainment, mental health, work, politics, and identity, we examine the role technology plays in learning, leisure, mental health/well-being, identity (e.g., gender and sexuality), mis/disinformation, radicalization, and resistance/protests. Drawing on moral psychology, cyberpsychology, digital ethics, and critical/posthuman theories, we examine how such technologies (as increasingly owned by a powerful few), are reshaping our lives and future. Lastly, we imagine how we might seek to shape digital norms/policy as rooted in psychology and digital ethics, in order to meet the shifting demands of an increasingly tech-integrated and automated world, in a socially just manner.
- [Course NPSY 0500: Forensic Psychology](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=6255617): Psychology, crime, and law are in many ways intimately intertwined - with interest in this interplay having grown significantly over the last 30 years. Research, pop culture, and lay interests are evident in the burgeoning worlds of crime thrillers and detective narratives (e.g., books, movies, various series), true crime podcasts, and the ongoing socio-cultural fascinations with organized crime, criminals, and serial killers. In this course, we take a historical, systemic, theoretical, and empirical dive into the interdisciplinary space of forensic psychology - offering a critical review of the science that informs it. The primary goal of this seminar-based course is to introduce the fundamental principles of different branches of forensic psychology, including policy and investigative psychology, legal psychology, criminal psychology, victimology, and correctional psychology. We examine topics such as mass shootings in the United States, white supremacist terrorism, and psychopathology, and go beyond “pop” narratives and lay understandings to get a deeper sense of these issues. Students will also learn about influential and hotly debated topics like structural racism in the judicial system, eyewitness statements, and interrogation techniques through lectures, class discussions, individual activities, and readings. All class materials are designed to spark nuanced thoughts and debate about theoretical views, empirical findings, and policy implications - as firmly grounded in cutting-edge psychological insights.

This course will examine the relationship between individual and collective trauma and the politics, cultural trends and relationships between citizens that have developed with the advent of various historical mass traumas. To do this, we focus on three major mass traumas that still reverberate today. These include 9/11, the January 6th attacks on the capitol and the mass trauma of slavery and the US civil war. This course is unique in that it will provide students the opportunity to “walk in the shoes of the other'' with a strong experiential aspect. During the class and in unpacking the case studies, we explore the following concepts as they relate to our current social and political situation: Socio-political group regression provoked by mass trauma, productive v.s destructive populism, the psychological nature of authoritarianism and fascism, and the psychological attack on democracy. As such this course will focus on contributions from the fields of trauma studies, media studies, psychology and psychoanalysis, conflict resolution and political dialogue. Psychological models of trauma intervention such as debriefing, EMDR, and community-response strategies to trauma will also be examined.

- [Course NMGM 0208: AI Without Bosses](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=9813242): As AI reshapes economies and reorders public life, the dominant paradigm barrels ahead, pursuing scale and control above all else. More energy, more proprietary data centers—no brakes. As infrastructure consolidates, tech oligarchs drift rightward, shaping data monopolies, state power, and labor conditions. Growth erodes worker rights, algorithmic accountability, and ecological care, deepening AI’s harm to marginalized communities.

- [Course NARH 0009: Artivism](https://cpe.newschool.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10073644): The prominent writer, James Baldwin, emphatically declared that “artists are here to disturb the peace.” His observation continues to have historical relevance and suggests that artists are truth-tellers in moments of crisis. Artists oftentimes envision art as social action that toils a new social world into being. This is particularly true for activist-artists – or artivists – who creatively respond to the call for social transformation and engage in the frontlines working for social change. This class investigates the “who, what, where, when, why, and how” of creative artistic resistance. We will discuss a range of topics, such as the impact and inter-relationships between art, activism, and the social imagination; what is “real” and “imagined;” art and its impact on public policy; public art and community engagement; the role of art in social movements, and art as social movement; the function and responsibility of artistic institutions (museums, community art centers, etc.); the relationship between art and identity(ies); political art vs. activist art; community-based art vs. art-based community making. Through a sustained exploration of artivism, we will examine how artistic expressions can alter on-the-ground geographies of under-resourced communities. Students should expect to undertake a collaborative or independently conceived, semester-long art project, or a research term paper that corresponds to either their creative art practices, intellectual interests, or associated curiosities.
